At the Singapore premiere of "Wicked: For Good" on November 13, a fan rushed onto the red carpet and grabbed Ariana Grande, causing a moment of panic. The incident occurred while Grande was walking with her co-stars, including Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum.

As the fan approached, described as having long black hair with blue streaks, he wrapped his arm around Grande, pulling her in. Erivo quickly intervened, stepping in front of Grande and shouting at the intruder. Security personnel swiftly removed the man from the scene. Grande appeared visibly shaken, taking deep breaths while Erivo and Yeoh comforted her.

Videos of the incident have circulated online, prompting a wave of reactions from fans. Many expressed shock and concern, with one user commenting, "Cynthia doing more than the body guards." Another remarked, "Cynthia is such a momma bear w her and fast whew get em sis."

The intruder has reportedly been known to disrupt events, having previously been spotted at concerts by other artists. Fans voiced their frustration over security lapses, with comments like, "Where was the security?" and "This is so insane to me. This lady was the target of a terror attack previously and her co-star is faster to protect her than the security?"

The incident has raised questions about safety at public events, especially for high-profile artists. "Wicked: For Good," directed by Jon M. Chu, is set to release in Indian theatres on November 21. The film is a sequel to the successful Broadway adaptation, which grossed over $756 million worldwide.

Cynthia Erivo's quick response has been widely acknowledged, with many fans calling her a true protector in a tense situation.
